Like all federal firearms laws, the 1,000' school zone law is unconstitutional, void and unenforceable. See Amendment X.<br /><br />I'm proud of you Mark for taking a stand against the tyrannical Somerset Police who were very unprofessional, disrespectful and lawless.

One was for Obstruction and the other for Loitering. They are holding my firearms as "Evindice". Trial date for the citations is April 2.<br /><br />In regards to the stop. I have a Wisconsin Concealed Carry License. I am not required to voluntarily show it to anyone, including police officers. The Officers DID NOT request to see my CCL. Knowledge of my proximity to school grounds was not established until the days after my arrest. Cheif Doug Briggs is trying to make the arrest all about the school when the arrest was really about me upsetting Chief Briggs by asserting my rights and not "Cooperating". He kept repeating that if I simply gave them a little information they would let me on my way. I refused to give up my 4th amendment rights because I was being threatened with arrest. I recorded the the encounter with an audio recorder. If you want to listen to the audio and make your own conclusions let me know.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198761195888457434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-5999997538900576842013-12-17T15:08:32.952+10:002013-12-17T15:08:32.952+10:00The federal gun free school zone act has an exempt...The federal gun free school zone act has an exemption for those with state concealed carry permits.<br /><br />I believe that Mark Hoffman has a valid Wisconsin permit.Dean Weingartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026716292548440054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-70886374939167325322013-12-17T05:46:22.142+10:002013-12-17T05:46:22.142+10:00If the Weapons are NOT returned, this Fellow shoul...If the Weapons are NOT returned, this Fellow should file a Theft Report with the local ATF Office, ASAP, and Name the Officer, Personally, as well as the Department, and the Chief, Personally. As an FFL, It is a Federal Felony to remove a Weapon from my Bound Book Inventory, without Me making an appropriate Notation/Update in that Bound Book. There is NO Exception for local, State of Federal LEOs, except a US Marshal, or an BATFE Agent, with a Signed Warrant. Theft is Theft, even if done under the Color of LAW, when in violation of a Federal Statute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-49207734343350745942013-12-16T14:01:55.672+10:002013-12-16T14:01:55.672+10:00I would be afraid of the DA filing federal charges...I would be afraid of the DA filing federal charges against me if I were in his shoes. He may have felt the charges unprovable and the laws unconstitutional but he is human and may be made angry if Mr. Hoffman fights the charges.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468962539604710197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-32135003535737004352013-12-16T13:59:31.859+10:002013-12-16T13:59:31.859+10:00Unfortunately, Federal law states that it is a fel...Unfortunately, Federal law states that it is a felony to carry any gun inside a school zone. I would love to see every state have a preemption and the repeal of the GFSZ laws. If only serves to disarm the 95% of people who are good and give criminals free reign. As the events in Colorado proved last week, a confrontation with armed an good guy will usually result in suicide by the shooter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468962539604710197noreply@blogger.com
